Why Japanese women dislike Valentine’s Day
Women all over the world are hoping to receive flowers, gifts and chocolate from men today - a sign of affection to mark Valentine’s Day.
But in Japan, things are different. Women are supposed to give chocolate to the men in their lives - boyfriends, co-workers but especially their bosses.
The Japanese call it Giri choco, or obligation chocolate, and it’s big business.
Senior executives receive dozens of chocolate boxes from their female staff, which they often take home and feed to their families and children.
